The Curious Case of Benjamin Button {Movie Review}

by

At the beginning of the year 2008, someone emailed a list of movies to watch out for. Right from the start, I got curious about The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and emailed my friends that this was the #1 movie I would watch out for in said list. Late last year, I found out […]

Singaporean KTV

by

Today is my teammate Eileen’s birthday, and she invited me to go to the KTV with her and her friends from the office – Di from our team, and Su, How Yang and Michael from the neighboring cubicles. Funny coincidence that exactly a year ago, Jen, my teammate then, also had her birthday and we […]

Once Upon a Time in Chinatown

by

It was a day at the gym that ended up as a day pigging out on dry chili crab (which is surprisingly yummy, though I still prefer the ones with sauce) at a Chinatown hawker’s stall and sizzling rocky road sundae in Swensen’s. Talk about ironic. Turns out it was good timing to visit Chinatown, […]

A Major Pain in the – Head

by

Kes once asked me what was the one thing, aside from my clothes, cellphone and wallet, that I could never leave the house without. For her it was makeup and for Gelle, earrings. Back then, I could not think of anything. Sure I wore makeup, but I could also do without it, as I proved […]

Conscious About My Subconscious

by

I’ve always been amazed with the existence of the subconscious ever since our Religion teacher Fr. Gascon discussed it in class back in High School. He told us that the mind is composed of the conscious and the subconscious. The former stores the details of everything that we are aware of while all the other […]

ENFP

by

I took the big five personality questionnaire and the resulting verdict sounds sooo me. I was happiest with their assessment of the top 3 careers I should be in, in order: Journalism, Communication and Theatre. These are the very careers that I dream of being in! But of course, dreams are not usually the reality. […]

Chinese New Year Picnic

by

The Fantastic Four went to the park to celebrate chinese new year. We had a picnic lunch and dinner, read our books (yes, even Joey reads now), and did our favorite pastime – what else but pictorials? This time, we levelled up with cheerdancing stunts and ended at home close to midnight already. What a […]

CinderGella

by

I’m a huge fan of musicals, and though I’ve watched and loved Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Into the Woods, Mamma Mia and Moulin Rouge, I only saw them on video or in moviehouses. Thus, I had every reason to be excited last Saturday as I got all dressed up to watch Rodger and […]

Bootsylicious Babes

by

We bought these Charles and Keith boots for 9 freaking dollars each only (at the Expo sale which lasts until the 18th, for the need-to-knows). A frigging steal. I may have been slightly overdressed for a movie date, but it was just the perfect thing to top off (or bottom up) my outfit, so shoot […]
